Influence study, tradition, myth, reception studyAbstract
The tale form has piqued the imagination of authors since the dawn of humanity. Given that it is well-liked by the general populace, the subject is extremely appropriate for literary genres. The Vedas have consistently been a significant source of literary appreciation. Since the Vedas are their primary source, all Puranas are comparable. A new method has been developed thanks to written literature and oral tradition. Because of this, using these old materials in a modern narrative form like a book is one of the most common, effective, and potent literary forms. The main goal of literature is to inform readers about certain truths of life and entertain them. The current essay investigates Shivpuran's effect on Amish Tripathi's work. Tripathi presents the concepts and interpretations of the well-known Shiva tale in a manner that is appealing to all people and conveys moral principles and aesthetic delight.
